Enrollment for Preparation Program Candidates

1. Checklist

Submission deadline: All required documents must be submitted as soon as possible, but not later than August 30, 2024.

Completeness is key: Avoid missing, incomplete, or unsigned documents.

In-Person verification: Original final degree documents are mandatory. Present these documents in person at the Office of Admissions at the start of your study program.

Adhering to this checklist ensures a smooth enrollment process.

*In order to verify your personal data (e.g. for issuing your Student ID card), we need to verify the following information: Name(s), date of birth, place of birth, nationality. You may cover or redact any other information on your ID card that you feel is unnecessary for this purpose. Rest assured, we will handle your data with the utmost care and confidentiality.

**Please check here if you will need a visa to enter Germany.

***Candidates who can prove at least A2 German language knowledge with a test certificate, do not have to attend German classes. The deadline for handing in the A2 test certificate is December 15, 2024.

2. The right form of documents

The checklist in the previous chapter shows which enrollment documents must be submitted in which forms.

Nearly all documents can simply be sent by email to studentservices@klu.org.

Only your proof of health insurance must be reported electronically by your insurance company if you are insured with a statutory insurance. Please ask your insurance company to do so. If you have a private insurance, we need both: An electronic notification by a statutory health insurance company which states that you are exempted from public insurance as well as the confirmation of your private insurance sent by email.

As for your school leaving certificate, resp. University degree certificates and transcripts of records, please present the original documents to the Office of Admissions during your first days on campus. You will be reminded by email about the same by the Admissions team.
